So, how do you configure this?
Well, its not necessarily an easy process, so attempt to follow the instructions below to the letter!
To configure Windows to wake automatically you better create a scheduled task with Task Scheduler.
On the right-hand side of the Task Scheduler window click Create Task… to create a new scheduled task.
Something along the lines of WakeUp works.
Configure the General configs.
In the Triggers, tab click new to create a new trigger.
This will prevent your gear from wasting resources.
In the Actions tab, configure a new action to start a program.
The program should be cmd.exe and the option arguments should be /c exit.
In the Conditions tab, ensure that Wake the computer to run this task is ticked.
All the other options can be disabled.
If you dont, you could end up draining your battery without noticing!
In the configs tab ensure that the task wont restart if the schedule is missed or the task fails.
You should also ensure that the task will be stopped if it runs for longer than an hour.
Again, this is to stop your setup from wasting valuable resources.
Once the task is set up click OK to save it.
The final step is to ensure your power plan is configured to allow wake timers.
Without this setting, the scheduled task wont work.
Configure your power plan.
